Good actors
A well made series
I've seen this mentioned and the book it's based on getting high praise, so I thought I'd check it out. Someone said it was very Agatha Christie like, maybe in terms of the setting and characters. There is normally a murder to be solved but it normally relies on the main characters interaction with people, rather than any clues being unraveled. Still interesting nevertheless.

Like hanging out with friends but murdery
This was one of the first podcasts I really got into. Karen and Georgia crack me up and I look forward to mondays and Thursday’s every week so I can have them in my earbuds! It’s like gossiping about murder with two of your best friends at brunch.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2627 KP) rated Murder in Grub Street (Sir John Fielding, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Sir John Fielding investigates when a family of printers are brutally murdered in 1760's London. This is the second in the series. I loved the characters as much as in the first, but I found the plot way too slow and predictable, with a second plot taking up way too much time.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2627 KP) rated Mew Is for Murder (Theda Krakow, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When Theda meets her new neighbor, a crazy cat lady, she thinks this might be a good subject for an article. Going back, she finds her neighbor dead. Why was she killed? The characters are good, but the writing and plot were weak. I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2627 KP) rated Immaculate Reception (Madeline Bean, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The pope is coming to LA, and Madeline is catering the welcome breakfast. But while prepping, she finds a letter that seems to confess to a murder, and it sets her off on a mystery with ties to the past. Still my favorite in the series with a fast paced, twisty plot and such wonderful characters.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2627 KP) rated Key Lime Pie Murder (Hannah Swensen, #9) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The Tri-County fair is in full swing and Hannah is acting as judge in the baked goods contest. But when her fellow judge is murdered, Hannah begins digging for clues. It's always nice to see these characters again. Hannah did get on my nerves when she wouldn't share clues with the police, however.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2627 KP) rated Apple Turnover Murder (Hannah Swensen, #13) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Several years ago, Hannah fell for a man named Bradford. Now he's back in town breaking more hearts until someone kills him backstage at a talent show. More of the same for this series, so if you enjoy the series, you'll like this book. A bit weak, but still plenty of fun.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2627 KP) rated Death by Pantyhose (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The sixth Jaine Austen mystery finds Jaine agreeing to write jokes for an unfunny stand-up comic. But before she can get started, the woman is arrested for murder. The weapon, a pair of pantyhose. Definitely for those who love funny mysteries, this one will keep you laughing while you puzzle over the clues.
